 Ben Muscolino

December 23, 2025

On Christmas Eve, when houses were quiet and still,  
Santa crept softly… for milk, cookies, and maybe a file or two to fill.

He tiptoed past stockings, the tree, and the lights,  
Sniffing out data in servers and sites.

🍪🥛 The cookies were warm, the milk was divine,  
But behind the scenes, something watched all the time.

Tiny canaries, tucked cleverly away,  
Chirped at the first sneaky step Santa made.

🐦 *Tweet!* went the alert — not a scold, not a fight,  
Just a friendly reminder: “We see you tonight.”

So Santa laughed, wiped crumbs from his beard,  
“Good thing you caught me before data disappeared!”

He left gifts, waved thanks, and dashed into the snow,  
Because proactive security is the way to go.

And so every home slept safe, cozy, and bright,  
With cookies gone — but data intact — that very night.

✨ **Happy Holidays from Vortacity Cyber** ✨  
Protecting what matters… even from Santa. 🎅🔐
